They are a lot less obtrusive than they used to be though.

Should only occur on retailer names, with a different visual style to normal links so you can't possibly get the two confused.

You'll be green before the days out !

Seems a really stupid rule. On a forum that prides itself on supposed self moderation, to lose the blobs because you don't see an ad is quite barmy.

I'm capped at 2 gold anyway, there's not that much to lose.

Also, when I turn on AdBlock, I lose all graphics including ratings arrows and ... karma blobs. Win-win. Thumbs Up

What's the conversion rate of bitcoins to karma at the moment? Wink

Yes can't be mistaken for normal, user entered hotlinks and their script seems to have been streamlined.

That was my main problem the last time they came up, the skimresources script was making pages lag for maybe 10-15 seconds before displaying.

Also learn to noscript. Takes a bit to get your whitelist set up but after that it makes your porn internet browsing experience much less annoying. Catches most popups, annoying flashy things, toolbars that appear up from the bottom of the page and redirects.

Well, for what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn? Very Happy

Ah, I have images blocked as well for stealthy surfing. I think I'll leave it like that, ignorance being bliss.
